Taking Kenalog Injection For Knee Pain Due To Overweight. Are These Injections Dangerous?
Both of my knees are bone on bone. My family Doctor gives me Kenalog 10mg. injections every month for my pain. I am very overweight, over 300 pounds, and use a walker to help me get around. How dangerous are these injections and do they help? Also I do have hair loss and swollen ankles. Thank you.

Hello
I have studied your case.
Kenalog contains steroid.Limited injections are useful. Do not take more than 2 or 3 injection
I will advise you to take neurotropics like methylcobalamine.
For weight reduction,
You can take high protein, and vitamin diet,take heavy salads and fruit juices.
Avoid fatty, oily, junk food,milk products containing high fat,non veg ,beer.
Drink 4 to 5 little water daily.
Do exercises for weight reduction,yoga,pranayama.
